] Date Posted: 11:04:36 12/11/07 Tue I can't believe I found this place. My 12 year old sister drowned in 1970. My 18 month old sister died of viral dehydration in 1962. I have one sister and three brothers will living and we love each other very much; we are very close. Just this morning I read about what can happen to a teenager who loses a sibling (I was 17 at the time). 37 years of wondering why I can't remember events from the immediately following years!! It was agony played out just about until I finally DID make a commitment to a relationship, got married and had kids. I was nearly 40, it took me that long. I'm so fortunate to have living siblings. I often wonder what my life would be like had my sisters not died. But I have my beautiful daughters who would not have been born had my siblings not died. That's how I choose to look at it. Thanks.

Date Posted: 20:14:13 12/14/07 Fri Dear Nina, Thank you for visiting. You and your sister were at similar ages to me and my sister--she died of cancer at age 13 when I was 15. I'm so glad you made the decision to love again after two such traumatic losses. I do believe that to the degree we have suffered pain, we have the capacity to experience joy.
